Sounds as if he didn't use his CLs as BJs (which you may have to do in
extremis - at least one of the Marias must be preserved). OTOH you've
proved your point. My contention was that a balanced fleet using BJs are
a sovereign remedy against any balanced FSE fleet under these
circumstances, whereas you've shown that it can lead to a fair fight.
Thanks.

Merry Christmas.
